Volume 2 Chapter 77 - He just has good luck (1/2)

A horse carriage left Saltan City and was quickly moving along the road towards Banta City.

There were four people sitting across each other inside the carriage.

Other than Baron Hannas, the other three people were a young man who was a bit younger than Baron Hannas, a beautiful girl who was younger than twenty, and finally a middle aged man who was balding and a bit chunky who looked to be around forty.

After the horse carriage drove on the dirt road outside Saltan City for a while, the young man suddenly patted his butt and said with a sigh, “After this horse carriage changed to that whatever tire, it really is much better than before.  If I knew about this earlier, my butt could have been spared all those hard years.”

Baron Hannas laughed, “Kennard, now do you believe what I said?  Not mentioning anything else, just with the appearance of this tire, it changed our lives this much.  There’s no need to mention all those other Frestech Chamber of Commerce magic machines.”

The young man called Kennard said with a smile, “I’ve never not believed what you said.  But now that I’ve experienced a few of those magic machines, I feel that with the appearance of the magic machines, perhaps it can change the entire continent.  If I didn’t think like this, why do you think I want to go to Banta City for a look?”

When Baron Hannas was about to speak, the young girl on the side gave a soft snort and said, “I don’t believe that that whatever Xu Yi is that powerful.  Big brother, Hannas, you say that him and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce are that great, but why do I feel that my life hasn’t changed at all?  What it was like before is how it is now.  You keep saying that Xu Yi and the Frestech Chamber of Commerce will change the continent, but I don’t think so.”

Baron Hannas looked at Kennard and they both revealed smiles.

“Beloved Sophia, you really don’t feel that your life has changed?”  Baron Hannas asked, “Is the bread you eat still made by hand like before?  Is the water you drink now still boiled using firewood?  Or to be more direct, does your family not have a single Magic Lamp?  If your family’s lives haven’t changed at all, then I can only say that your family has fallen behind and it isn’t related to Xu Yi or the Frestech Chamber of Commerce at all.”

“My family hasn’t fallen behind!”  Sophia stomped down and said in a slightly angry voice, “But our family doesn’t need any Magic Bread Maker or Magic Kettles.  As for the Magic Lamp…..”

Speaking of the Magic Lamp, Sophia fell silent and couldn’t keep going.

Baron Hannas laughed, “What about the Magic Lamp?  Is it that it is so pretty that you’re not willing to say you don’t need it?”

Sophia’s face turned a bit red, “So what if I like how pretty it is?  Then again, the Magic Lamp is pretty because of the design of the elves, it isn’t related to Xu Yi.”

“But the appearance of the elves is closely related to Xu Yi.  If it wasn’t for him, even if you walked all over our Lampuri Kingdom, you wouldn’t be able to see a single elf.”  Baron Hannas added.

“Humph!  The elves didn’t disappear, he was just lucky, it isn’t anything special.”  Sophia said in an unwilling to submit voice.

Baron Hannas wanted to keep discussing with Sophia when Kennard waved his hand at him with a smile, “Alright, Hannas.  If you keep arguing with her, do you believe that you will make her hate Xu Yi?”

“I just don’t like how to keep discussing that fellow in front of me and how you praise him all the time!”  Sophia said in a loud unwilling to submit voice, “He just invented a few things because of luck, how could he be that great?”

“Because no one else invented these things and he did, which means that he has abilities that other people don’t have, so he’s great.”  Kennard said with a serious face, “Sophia, no matter what you feel about Xu Yi, you have to acknowledge this logic.  When other people have abilities that you don’t have, you have to honestly study them and you shouldn’t pick problems with them, understand?”

“I don’t like those ice cold magic machines.”  Sophia said with a snort, turning her head to look out the window.

Seeing Sophia’s attitude, Kennard could only helplessly give a sigh and turn back to Baron Hannas and said, “I’ve heard that the «Banta Times» is the largest newspaper in Banta City and if they were to know that their founder was suddenly coming to Banta City, would the «Banta Times» do a big report?”

Baron Hannas shook his head with a smile, “How could they?  Although I am the founder of the «Banta Times», the reason why this newspaper appeared was all because of Xu Yi.  Whether it is the creativity of making the newspaper, the required initial funds for setting up the office, or even the Magic Printing Press, it is all related to him.  So to be honest, the founder of the «Banta Times»  is not me.  Thinking about it now, this fellow instigated me to make the «Banta Times» and was completely using me.”

“But weren’t you happy being used?”  Kennard said.

Baron Hannas said while laughing, “That’s right.  Whenever I think of those days, I always feel very happy.  So even though I’m very clear on the fact that Xu Yi was just using me, I’m very grateful to him.  If it wasn’t for him, I might still be bored at home and feeling that this world is very boring.  But now, I’ve found something that I’m willing to offer my entire self to.”

Hearing Baron Hannas’ voice being filled with honest gratitude, even the spiteful Sophia couldn’t help looking over at Baron Hannas’ strange expression and feeling depressed.

Is this Xu Yi really that great?  He could actually create such a large change in Hannas’ listful appearance.
